THE ARK OF THE TESTIMONY AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT — 3RD MESSAGE......(SUN PM 9/17/97)

When Israel crossed over Jordan and entered into Canaan’s Land, the twelve prepared men took twelve stones from out of Jordan and set them in a wheel formation on the land at Gilgal. Then, they took twelve stones from the land and put them in the midst of Jordan in the form of a shaft. The circular formation of the stones on the land represents the collective aspect of the LORD’s Begotten Names; the shaft formation of the stones in Jordan represents the Unity or Oneness of His Unbegotten Name. These thirteen Names were revealed in Exodus, chapter thirty-four. At Gilgal, before going out to possess the Promised Land, Israel experienced a new circumcision. And, while they were recuperating, they ate old corn of the land. They partook of the Passover in Canaan’s Land, at Gilgal; thus at Gilgal, they experienced fresh circumcision, with fresh Passover Blood, and fresh Manna joined to the old corn of the Land; therefore, new Bread-Strength was born in Israel.
